10th Place: LOUIS MOINET METEORIS WATCH ~ Price: $4.600.000

What does make this watch so specific, besides 18 k white gold case and handcrafted design? Answer is very simple: it containes a piece of the Jiddat al Harasis 479 meteorite, an authentic piece of the planet Mars that fell to Earth.

The specificity of this watch is that basically only one material was used – diamonds! The Hublot Big Bang watch has a total of 1280 diamonds of around 3 carats each. It took about 1 year to source the diamonds from around the world.

This is the most complicated watch ever made. A complication is the number of functions a watch can do and this one 2800 components and 57 complications. It has a solid 18k white gold case and densely packed components inside. It took a team of three watchmakers more than eight years to design and create the 2,800-component Reference 57260 from scratch.

The thing which makes this watch unique – it has stainless steel casing, a very rare thing since almost all luxury watches Patek made with yellow or rose gold. Also, this is part of a very limited edition 4 piece series.

This watch was made in 1933 for banker Henry Graves by Patek Philippe himself. It took over 5 years to complete one of the most complicated and complex pocket watches in the world with over 24 functions. Moreover, it is made out of 18K gold and used to be the world’s most expensive pocket watch until late 2013.

This watch was commissioned by a an alleged lover of Marie Antoinette, the French queen. Work on the watch began in 1782 by Abraham-Louis Breguet and was finished in 1827 by his son, 4 years after his death. The outer casing of the watch is made of gold, with sapphires inside the mechanism to reduce friction. The watch is currently held by the L.A. Mayer Institute for Islamic Art in Israel.

1st Place: GRAFF HALLUCINATION ~ Price: $55 MILLION

The incredible worth stems from 110 carats of really rare and really big colored diamonds set into a bracelet of platinum.
